Moving from AUSTRALIA to CALIFORNIA, LA?

That is tough. Be sure you have everything lined up before you come here. Without a plan you will be in BIG trouble. A place to stay is #1 and then of course is a job. You will not be able to afford living in an apt by yourself. You might be able to rent a room in someones house. Check out the newspaper clified sections. LA Times, Daily News, Daily Breeze etc. Good luck. JUST PLAN AHEAD FOR SURE.
